There is no verse in the Qur'an that decrees music to be unlawful. The Qur’an is very clear and precise; there is no room in the Qur’an for implications.

There is no barrier before love once one abides by the Qur’an. Qur’an teaches love of God and love of all beings for pleasing God.

They created a religion far removed from the Qur’an. When we explain the religion in the Qur’an, they feel bewildered seeing that it contradicts their religion. The Qur’an is the only real source of religion.

The Mahdi will come at a time when people start to love themselves instead of loving God. He will teach people to love God and to abide by the Qur’an.

People visualize the time of our Prophet (pbuh) according to the tales of bigots and superstitions.

Some people regard the Islam in the Qur’an, living by the Book of God without the addition of any superstition as perversion.

In an environment in which women are not free, life would be hellish and perversion would run rampant. Islam, as explained in the Qur’an is radiant; it is the light of life.

When a religion that has no place in the Qur’an is put forth, it brings about a horrifying world. That horrible world is not caused by religion, but by the superstitions they came up with themselves.

God demands us to abide by the Qur’an, not by the religion of our forefathers.

God orders us to follow the Qur'an. Some people see it as perversion. The real perversion is to follow sources other than the Qur'an.

Once an Islamic understanding that isn’t based on the Qur’an is adopted, superstitious radical movements backed by the British deep state appear.

It is very important to know how to implement the Qur’an in one’s life. For instance, being in sorrow, living in worry and unease, anger against someone is not compliant with the Qur’an.

It won’t be possible to correct people or wrong manners simply by using a criticizing language. It is easy to attain results with a positive, rational, moderate language.

As Turkey we need to use a loving language that constantly encourages the right way of behaving. It won’t be possible to attain good results with a language that constantly disagrees and criticizes.

We criticize a person only to correct his mistakes; we don’t want anyone to feel down.

There is no such thing as ‘the freedom to insult’ in any democratic country. Criticism and opinions must be expressed within the boundaries of respect.

Getting defensive in the face of constructive criticism is an unwise reflex. Constructive criticism helps one see details and improve oneself.

Criticisms brought to a Muslim should be with the Qur’an. Instead of talking according to one’s own mentality, it is important to cricitize by saying ‘this is the case according to this verse of the Qur’an’.

A righteous and honest criticism is supported but opposing merely to stir up sedition and disorder is a disgrace.

When we criticize someone, we aim to correct the ways of that person. We would not want that person to be oppressed or fade away.

While criticizing a Muslim, one should say 'This is so and so according to this verse of the Qur'an'. Otherwise there is no error to criticize.

I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

Anyone criticizing us must document his criticism with proofs from the Qur'an. They must say, “This is wrong according to this verse.” It’s unacceptable to say, “This is wrong according to my own conviction.”

I live my life according to the Qur’an. If those who criticize me could show me verses from the Qur’an as evidence for their criticisms, I would succumb immediately.

I am very surprised at loveless people. If there is no love, compassion, no caring for each other, what is the meaning of life then?
